' l "` This was an appeal from an order of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, directing the plaintiffs to pay all the costs of the re-investment of the produce of certain docks and warehouses purchased by them under the authority of an A.3t of Parliament. By the provisions of the nth and 40th of Geo. 111., certain persons were empowere d to prove the port of London, and erect those buildings and warehouses known under the name of the West Docks, purchasing with that object the Property sf th ose persons whose buildings occupied the site of the intended docks. Under the provisions of the latter Act, the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury were moreover empowered within a period of two years from 1801, to pu, chase all the quays from the Tower downwards, used for the landing of customable goods, giving to all parties in terested, either as owners or occupiers, compensAion for ;- those interests, which compensation in the event of any illf• ference, was to be determined by a Jury. The docks were accordingly erected, but no purchases of the neighbouring landing-places were made by the Lords of the Treasui y until the expiration of the two years allowed by the Act of Parliament. It was found, however, that the private land ing places in the vicinity of the docks afforded great facili ties for smuggling, and the Act of 43d Geo. 111. was their passed, which Act required the Treasury forthwith to pur chase these quays, and make compensation to those inte rested in them, according to the provisions of certain sec tions of the Acts of the 39th and 40th Geo. 111. In pur suance of the requisition contained in the new Act, the quays were accordingly purchased, and the compensation money re-invested. The question to be determined on the present petition was, whether the expense of the re-invest ment was to fall on the Treasury or on the parties inte. rested. The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the ex penses of the re-investment were not covered by the award, and made an order for their payment by the Treasury. Against this order the Lords of the Treasury appealed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL supported the appeal. Mr. KNIGHT appeared for the respondents. Their LORDSHIPS said they must look into the Acts of Parliament before they gave judgment. . . LONDON, TUESDAY EVENTING, JANUARY 5, 1836. PRICE • 7D. No. 13,515.

Those who are forgotten or who are dissatisfied, do not fail to impute it to the humiliation of France, nQt because her past misfortunes have stripped her of the means capa ble of compelling her rival to respect her ; but because, as they say and think, the King is not in the nation ; which is thus placed, by the fault of its legitimate chief, between humiliation and revolt.

The general state of affairs, and the circumstances which particularly refer to the relations between the Cabinets of London and Paris, as respects 'the Peninsula, the opening of the Chambers, and the different and often contradictory views taken of all these matters by the journals and other productions of the press, make it my duty to submit to your Excellency some observations upon the whole, as also on the situation of France, and of the men by whom she is governed. Notwithstanding the alarms which arise on every side, foretelling dangers and internal troubles to this country, whoever properly appreciates its' position, will arrive at the conviction that there exists no sufficient grounds for the moment for partaking in them. France is strong by the numbers of her population, by the contiguity of her territory, and of her resources, and, I will add, by her institutions ; above all, if these were car ried into effect and understood, in the spirit of good faith on the one hand, and of moderation on the other.

N HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL .L TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret vice. so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in the pther have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption, Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which, during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive practice, has invariably proved sinTassful,; with concluding remarks en the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

Sutherland, Calton-street, Edin burgh ; and by all Booksellers in town and country. Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day, we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums, and justly des.rving the serious attention of all those persons who may unfortunately happen to be afflic t ed with the maladies which form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to g rea t pra i se; an d we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with snch delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review, THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—AIthough the Times and other Tory newspapers try to put a bold face on the matter, the well-informed managers of the Conser vative Club tell a different story. One of their whippers in, the other day, being asked by a Reformer if he had read the Morning Papers, replied—. , Indeed, I have I You may well boast : we have been utterly defeated ; but it's all Peel's fault." The fact is, that Peel thought the mid dle classes were Toryfied ; he believed in the reaction ; he was deceiv e d by th e multitude of addresses pres e nted to himself—i gnoran t or thoughtless of the manner in which they were got up ; he imagined that he had succedcd in throwing dust in the eyes of the people ; whilst he was only himself the dup e o f th ose pl a ce - h un t ers w l o u se d him as their tool..—Spectator. These advantages are counterbalanced, indeed, and even weakened by a sort of inefficacy, if I may so express myself, into which the King allows himself to be insensibly drawn ; by the encouragement given to the inconsiderate zeal of a clergy cxalle, and yet ignorant ; by the impulse of men, under the name of congreganistes, who ally ambition to a sort of affected piety, and compromise the person of the King, who is reputed to favour them 'in secret ; by the want of dignity and standing in the first Minister—by the restless jealousy with which he removes talents which might assist him ; by the condescension of the Chambers, which has degenerated into servility ; and, lastly, by the malignity with which all these faults are pointed out and exaggerated to the public, through the hundred mouths of criticism and hatred, that proclaim them every day. The inconveniences I have just enumerated take from the Government a part of its strength, but they will not succeed in overthrowing it. The party even who endeavour to lake advantage, of it, do not expect it, although this may be.the reason why they dare not attempt it. The Session which has just opened will . not be wanting in keen and bitter discussions—but the conclusion will be in conformity with the wish of the Ministry. The majority of the Chambers is so composed that it cannot, and, more over, does not, wish to escape from its state of subserviency. This advantage is great ; it is even in a representative Government, a condition necessary to the existence of every Ministry whatever ; but this does not fulfil all the conditions necessary for security and strength. Majorities in the Chambers, to be useful, should respond to the senti ments of the people they represent, or inspire them with those that they profess ; and serve as a model and example, to enable the Government freely to dispose of the resources of the nation. Without this result they become a simple formula necessary to the preparation of laws, regarded as odious or indifferent. Unfortunately, these inconveniences are here partially realised, and are the cause of all the un easiness that takes from royalty its energy, and lends arms to those who aim at compromising and attacking it. In a time of peace ' and when, on one hand, no extra ordinary sacrifice is demanded, and, on the other, there exists no daily want which is not satisfied, it is difficult that discontent should become revolt, and that criticism should degenerate into rebellion. But if the circumstances should become more serious, from whatever cause, then would appear the moral weakness of the Government, in the midst of those immense material resources which it has at its disposal. The King's speech has pointed out the topics which will become the subject of debate and deliberation in the Cham bers. Well-intentioned and prudent persons would have preferred leaving undisturbed the question relative to mili tary justice. The army was accustomed to that which exists, and which it has preserved with the recollection of its victories. The new regulations, even supposing them better, will give rise to delicate discussions. The enemies of order in general, and perhaps those of the Ministry in particular, will avail themselves of it, to pervert as much as possible the dispositions of the military ! and although they will not succeed in working all the mischief they desire, the least portion will be so much the more injurious, that it will not be counterbalanced by any advantage, and that it was not indispensable to incur the risk. The law on the liberty of the press will, I fear, become another brand of discord. Your Excellency knows how much I have always considered the unbounded faculty of using it, as incompatible with order in France. The Duke de Richelieu and his colleagues, although accused of mode ratisme, have always supported this doctrine, and their perseverance on this point was one of the weapons of which the soi-disant Royalists par excellence, united to the Libe rals and Revolutionists, availed themselves, to cause their do w nfal. The principal favourer of this dangerous doctrine was the present King. During the lifetime of his brother, he wished to have a Ministry according to his heart, and to obtain this be compromised himself with a question stronger than them all, when it was once admitted. This fatal triumph conducted him to power, before he arrived at the throne. Nevertheless, Louis XVIII. re-established the Censorship ; it existed when Charles X. came to the Crown. Anterior engagements, professions of faith; the want of energy, that prevents the avowing and correcting of a fault that has been committed, when its continuance in creases the embarrassments arising from it, drew on the King to re-establish the liberty of the press, restrained by a law destined to arrest or to punish its excesses. In the situation in which France was, and still is, the law respecting the press is only a subsidiary means. The prin cipal point consists in governing with a great superiority of views ; in not sinking, by faults of character, by falsehoods and habitual puerilities, in the consideration of the public ; in nut contracting the spirit of sect, which is not that of religion, in abstaining from treating ,France as , if pagan or idolatrous, and, above all, in conciliating the tribunals in general, and the Court of Paris in particular ; because not being able to exercise absolute power, and having no other arm against the ill-disposed, save that of the Magistracy, it was necessary to associate it to the interests of the Go vernment, and to adopt a system to which it could associate itself, without violating the duties of its office. These rules of conduct have been either almost entirely neglected, or even others diametrically opposed to them have been followed. Thence the licence and confusion for which they now seek a remedy. All the well-disposed think that it is indispensable to arrest the present deborde meat, but they fear, at the, same time, that in giving too much to the King, with the dispositions which it is supposed he has to promote Jesuitism, and to barricade himself, as it were, in the narrow circle, in which he has shut himself up in the middle of France, such an abuse would bring on others, which they apprehend even more than those which exist, and which they avow. A law presented and discussed under such auspices will be undecided, ambiguous, and consequently inefficacious. A greater confidence on the part of the public, and the tri bunals, in the men who govern, and in the King, could alone give to it, in the course of its execution, the energy that may be wanting in its first conception. But this con fidence is yet far from existing, and I doubt, that in con tinuing the aberrations pursued for about the last four years, it will never be established at a desirable point. The finances arc in a sufficiently prosperous state, if we consider the largeness of the receipts, and their successive progression. However, there exist so many unnecessary expenses become habitual, that there remains but an incom plete surplus for others, that are indispensable and vital. The ancient fortresses are repaired with a dilatoriness that keeps them still in a state of imperfection, and conse quently , of weakness, particularly as regards the completion of th ose ra i se d on he opposite frontier : the great roads are falling into decay ; the army itself, and the marine, in a state that calls for additions and ameliorations ; with out which it would be impossible to make them act with the unity and the power indispensable to their action and their movements. I will add, that the finances of a kingdom such as this, which arc composed of real resources and of credit, depend greatly upon the feeling of political security, and of internal tranquillity ; and, consequently, of the stability of its Go vernment. Without doubt that of France fulfills a part of these conditions, notwithstanding what I have pointed out. as deficient ; but this position is dependent, in some sort, on the continuance of peace. A serious war, a n d th e sacrifices it would impose, would give rise, I fear, to all the effects of panic am ong the capitalist s , i n diff erence among a great por tion of the nation, and revolutionary sentiments among many others. The events in the Peninsula have taken place, and have rendered yet more complicated a situation already so deli cate. Mr. Canning, who examined it during lns stay at Paris, an d w h o , per h aps , j u d ge d it more weak and dan gerous than it is, has made use of the knowledge be has acquired in insulting France with audacity and contempt. Doubtless, the French Government acts properly in dis sembling the injuries that are aimed at it, and avoiding to As long as these germs of discontent are not i ipened by war, the administration will suffice to keep men and things in the state in which they are. We should see the reverse if the nation -were exposed to dangers, it could only surmount by sacrifices. Without doubt the King of Spain, or his Counsellors, were the most evidently in the wrong ; but their faults make them only niore sensible of the blows that are inflicted upon them. When, by a continuation of unfortunate circumstances, the chief of the Bourbon family is obliged to rise against its members, not as a superior who warns and corrects the faults they have committed, but as the instrument who menaces and degrades them all ; their common con sideration is lessened, and their existence even decays to a degree, that renders it incapable of sustaining the shock of any extraordinary event. This state of things is owing partly to the relaxation of the European system, after the happy victory gained by the Monarchs over Revolution in the Peninsula—it is owing still more directly, however,, to the want of capacity of M. de Villele, who, notwittstanding his natural intelligence, never could or would understand that the liberty of the po litical movements in France depended on the manner in which Spain was administered. Now he admits the incon venience without confessing the fault, and thinks only of accommodating himself to the crisis of the moment, be cause he has made it impossible for himself to act more comprehensively. In proportion as the situation is delicate, it will re quire increased care and interest to guard it from the evils which menace it. Russia has re-established- the French Monarchy by her arms, she has continued to pro tect it by her generosity, she will preserve it, I dare hope, from the embarrassments and even misfortunes which seem to menace it, by her influence and her policy. I have the honour to be, &e., &c. TIIE PARRICIDE.—This is a most extraordinary work, possessing perhaps unequalled features of originality. The story is, supposed to have occurred about 200 years ago ; but neither time nor place is expressed. It contains altogether only five characters ; but three of which are principal, and only one of these bears name. No portion of it is devoted to a description of costume, manners, or any other external circumstance ; it paints the core and not the husk, is wholly a dark and fearful history of the heart and its most powerful passions, and consequently possesses an extent of interest, the intensity of which is utterly inde scribable. Modern times, however, with all their boasted virtue, have supplied the test on which the most savage portion of this narrative is founded,.... Thousands must still remember the appalling tragedy which occurred during the summer of 1823, in the house of an individual of high mili tary rank at the west end of the town. An alarming fire broke out yesterday morning, be twee four and five o'clock, on the premises belonging to Messrs. Ackerman cork cutter, 31, George's-place, Cannon street, St. George's-in-the-East, which for some time threatened destruction to the surrounding houses, but owing to the quick arrival of several Metropolitan engines, and the vigorous exertions of the firemen and police, the flames were confined to the premises in which the fire broke out. The premises are insured in the Globe Fire' Office. How the fire originated is not known. ENCOURAGEMENT TO SKATERS.--A g entle. man in the Croydon-road having a deep pond i n his grounds, on the surface of which skaters assemble in groat numbers, much to his annoyance, had the following notification put on the gateway on Friday :—" Gentlemen desirous of being drowned will find the ice very rotten in the Six Acre Meadow. No interruption will be given to such amusements, as the loss of a few fools will not be felt in Surrey.' Singular enough the fools for once proved them selves wise, and did not go near the pond. One of the orderlies of General Trezel, in the ex pedition against Mascara, is a non-commissioned officer, a Turk by birth, and a young man of most extraordinary ar dour and bravery. Since he has been in the service of France, he has slain on the field of battle 19 Arabs, and has had five horses killed under him. He obtained the Cross of the Legion of Honour for his gallant conduct at the unfortunate engagement of La Macta, on the 26th of June. Having lost his horse in the charge in which fell Colonel Oudinot, he gained possession of that of an Arab, whom he slew ; on this he managed to thrdw the corpse of his deceased Colonel, and bring it safe to Oran.—Paris Advertiser. A LONG DRlvE.—The Liverpool mail to Bristol, which is driven from Shrewsbury to Hereford by Thomas Hill, arrived here at a quarter before 9 o'clock on Friday morning, its usual hour being 5. Owing to the extraordi nary severity of the weather, the coaches had all been thrown out, and no coachman was to be found. Hill con sequently proceeded on to Bristol, from whence he was, for the same reason, obliged to go back to Shrewsbury, having thus, instead of 50, driven a distance of two hundred and six miles without stopping, and this in the most inclement weather remembered for years !—Hereford Journal. WHALE FISHING IN THE HUMBER.— On Thursday last a young whale, of the species called Firmer, was caught in the Humber, near Hull garrison, by the crew of an oyster smack, by whom it was afterwards sold to Mr. Woodmansey Greenland, cooper, who has since resold it for exhibition, and it has been sent to Leeds. The extreme length of this whale was 14 feet, and being very fat, measured 12 feet in circumference ; length of whalebone, 51 inches ; weight, 4 ton. This is the second whale of the same species caught in the neighbourhood of Hull this year between the departure and arrival of the northern whale fishers.—Hull Observer. FEIINEY.—There arc Voltaire's "rooms just as he left them. The ridiculous picture of his own apotheosis, painted under his own direction, and representing him of fering his Henriade to Apollo, with all the authors of his time dying with envy at his feet, occupies the most conspi cuous place over his chamber door. Within was his bed— the curtains nibbled quite bare by relic-gathering travellers ; a portrait of the Erripress Catherine, embroidered by her own hand, and presented to Voltaire ; his own portrait and Fre derick the Great's, and many of the philosophers, inclutlir g Franklin. A little monument stands opposite the fire-:place, with the inscription, " Mint esprit est partout, et mon cecur cat ici." It is a snug little dormitory, opening from a win dow to the west ; and, to those who admire the character of the once illustrious occupant, a place for very tangible musing. They showed us afterwards his walking-stic, a pair of silk stockings he had half worn, and a nightcap. The last article is getting quite fashionable as a relic of ge nius.—They showed Byron's at Venice.—Pencillings by the 1 Fay The Georgia Telegraph, published at Macon, con tains the following paragraph :—" The Texas fever has treated us worse than the cholera. Our office is completely swept ! Journeymen and apprentices, men and boys, devils and angels, are all gone to Texas ! If our readers get an empty sheet, or no sheet at all, they must not blame us." Lord Lauderdale, during the French war, was an active and zealous democrat, and a great favourite with the French Jacobins, and having been one of the first who ap peared without powder, and being a crop, was considered as one of their caste. He has, for some years past, become an inveterate Tory, a supporter of all the Scotch Tory Representative Peers, and now reprobates Reform, and has abandoned all those politics which he supported when intimate with Mr. Fox, and a busy Member of the House of Commons before he had a seat in the House of Lords. DINNER AT THE TUILERIES.—Except the Court Establishment of George IV., I have never before or since beheld one so well organised as this at the Tuileries. There were, indeed, no Court Dignitaries in uniform—there was no Court Marshal with his stick ; but there was a servant in splendid livery behind every guest. There was a brilliant and magnificent service of plate ; a thing which, for absolute want of cleaning, looks at many German Courts like a mere service of tin. Wine and viands were of the best kind and in great profusion. The attendance was quick and orderly, and altogether in the English style, which has now become the style in all the best houses in Paris. The King and Queen carved several of the dishes themselves, and joined the conversation with all the animation of real and polite hospitality.—From a anew work of Prince Puckler Muskaw. A sale of hosiery frames, held at the Half Moon Inn, Huainan Torkard, on Tuesday last, and conducted by Mr. Morley, consisting of fointeen frames, from 26 gauges 16 inches, to 47 guages from 16 to 17 inches, produced h,e extraordinary sum of two hundred and eighty pounds ! thereby 'averaging twenty pounds each. A better criterion than this cannot be produced, of the healthy state of the hosiery trade. In 111 r. Smith's celebrated sale of frimes, thirty-five years ago, the average price was elQvp.o pounds per frame, of this description, and was 014 thought a pro digious price.—Nottineani Aqt,go/A A FEW CASES OF SIGHT RESTORED.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Nice-Chan cellor, overruling exceptions taken to a report of the Master, by which he found that a good title had been made by the plaintiff to the next presentation to the livinc , of Chew Magna, in the county of Somerset. The appeal was opened in a ftirmer sit - Ling by Mr. Jacob, who argued at great length, to prove the insufficiency of the title. Mr. Chandless now followed on the same side, and re minded the Court that the plaintiff claimed one-eighth part of the presentation to the living in question, in right of Prudence Amery, who was a co-partner with her sister Isabella, but who had usurped the right of presentation, al though the younger sister. . The argument was not concluded at the rising of the Court. IN THE MATTER OF VISCOUNTESS KIRKWALL. When-their Lordships were about.to leave the Court Mr. John Joseph Stockdale craved permission to see the Vis countess Kirkwall, against whom a commission of lunacy has been issued. Their Lordships said they could not make any order for Mr. Stockdale to see the Lady Kirk wall, unless some good grounds were shown in support of the application. INSOLVENT COURT-MONDAY. BARON DE BODE'S CASE. • William Henry Charles Othon, Baron de Bode, known by the name of the Baron de Bode, and sued as Henry de Bode, came up this morning from the King's Bench Prison, to be heard on the matter of his petition and schedule to be discharged. His application, unopposed by his creditors, was supported by Mr. Cooke. The Baron, in answer to the interrogatories of the Learned Chief Commissioner, was a Major-General in the Russian service, his debts and liabilities in the aggregate amounted to 30,742/. I is. 2d., of which s u m he had re ceived no consideration for 15,162/. There were liabili ties in his schedule, more than once entered, amounting to 13,480/., thereby leaving debts, for which he had received consideration, to the sum of 2,094/. He had no credits, and he ascribed his insolvency_ to having accepted accom modation bills for his brother. The Baron, otitis examination, was questioned respect ingtsome of his debts. H e h a d i ncurre d a d e bt o f . 71. with Messrs. Catchpole, j ewe ll ers , o f R egen t- s t reet . , e said his wife was resid en t i n thi s coun t ry , b u t hi s c hit en were abroad. The Learned COMMISSIONER said there did not appsar anything in the case to animadvert on, and he those fore declared the Baron entitl e d t o th e benefit of the A t, and ordered him to be discharged forthwith. ► MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-MONDAY. These. Sessions commenced this morning at the Ses sions House, Clerkenwell, before Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates. The Calen— dar contains the names of 65 prisoners, ten of whom only are charged with felony, the rest being charges of assault, disorder, and rioting. THE GAMBLING PROSECUTIONS. Mr. Anomtus applied to the Court on the part of the authorities of the parish of St. James's, Westminster, to discharge certain recognizances in which they were bound to prosecute the Count De Rutter and others, for keeping a common gambling-house. Mr. Adolphus said that Mr. Rutter had taken his flight to the Continent, and a short time ago a report appeared in the newspapers that he was shot in a duel at Paris. This he (Mr. Adolphus) believed another trick ; hut, be that as it might, the prosecutors had employed an officer to apprehend the defendant, but, having failed, they now applied to be discharged from further attendance in that Court. They had done their duty, and the house in which the nuisance had existed was shut up, and would no further annoy the neighbourhood. The Court granted the application. .John Handsford, aged 20, was convicted of stealing a watch, value 41., the property of Charles Russell. THE ENSUING CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT SEssioN.--This Session commenced yesterday ; and, notwith. standing the short interval since the termination of the last, the calendar contains a considerable number of prisoners, some of whom are charged with offences which, in case of conviction, subject the prisoners to the awful penalty of death, or the pain of perpetual banishment. This Session is likely to be of considerable duration, as the Clapham omnibus case will come on, and is likely to occupy the Court (like the Paddington case) for several days. There is also the remanded case of Balls and Harris, for the for gery upon the banks of . Vienna and Warsaw, which was postponed, owing to the prisoners challenging the whole panel of Jurors at the conelusion of the last Session. Nest is the Custom House robbery, which, from the recent very mysterious disclosures, must be a prolix case. Since the last Session ended, several extensive robberies have been eQrsmitted ; one upon the Religions Tract Society, as well as on other public institutions. A most formidable gang of housebreakers were ap prehended a short time since at Great Effingham, in this county, and no less than nine men are fully committed to Norwich Castle for trial by H. Dover, H. Partridge, and H. D. Emsworth, Esqs., Magistrates in the hundred. Fifty-nine burglaries, besides petty thefts, are now said to have been committed by these men within three years ; and too much credit cannot be given to Mr. B. Andrews, the Higham police-OfficerS, who, together with his assistants, have rendered, by their resolute conduct, the most essen tial service, to the neighbourhood by bringing to justice the principals of a most desperate gang of thieves.—Norfolk Chronicle. _ _ The notorious footpad, Barton, a native of Row- a land, Derbyshire, whose numerous depredations in different parts of the county have occasioned much alarm, and for • whose apprehension a large reward has been offered by his '- Grace the Duke of Portland, in consequence of his stopping - and robbing one of his Grace's servants, at Warsop, a short time ago, has for a long time eluded the vigilance of the po lice and others. He was taken in Nottingham last week, and passed through Chesterfield on Saturday night last on • his way to Sheffield, to answer delinquencies committed in that quarter.—Dencaster Gazette of Friday. WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTION.—DUBS LET, JAN. 2. This being the day appointed by the High Sheriff for this election to take place, a little before eleven o'clock, Mr. Hale was met about a mile from the town, on. the Wotton-under-Edge and Alderley-road, and from thence escorted into Dursley. After the Court had been opened, and the usual preliminaries completed, Lord. G. Somerset presented himself to the meeting, and proposed Mr. Hale as a fit and proper person to repre sent the di vision of the county in Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) Ed ward Sampson, Esq. (of Henbury) seconded the nomina tion. Mr. Hale then came forward, and addressed the meeting ; after which, the High Sheriff declared Robert Blagden Hale, Esq., duly elected as one of the Represen tatives of the Western Division of the county of Glou cester.—(Cheeri.)
